You'd like to think that photo 4 was good enough for the police to take action....

If those pilots had properly briefed themselves they would be well aware of possible high sided red light jumpers at the 20 end - its been in En-Route Supplements for years.

You're joking. English law is that a Notice of Intent to Prosecute (NIP) must be served on the registred keeper of a vehicle within 14 days of the offence. This happened on Friday week - already 8 days have passed. There is zero chance of the rozzers pulling their finger out so that this/these keepers get the letter before next Friday. And at least one of these offenders is a foreign vehicle, so there is bu99er all chance of catching anyone.

Your photo evidence has virtually zero evedential value in court, and even if the police did actually take it seriously, unless the driver grasses himself up in interview there is nothing the police can do.

Basically the police have easier targets for their money making scams.

41sqn Typhoon incident is covered elsewhere, but the two images clearly show the angle of the foreplanes to be totally different, maybe the reason for the different approach angles ?
